Gandalf's staff - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think that he made his own one, with a nice white jewel on the top, like a mock-up Silmiril. I don’t know why I think this, but question: Gandalf the white is always shinning, where does the shine come from?

Actually no that’s probably completely wrong. The glow could well have come from his cloths (if Galadriel can make cloths that are totally unnoticeable then I am sure she can make some very obvious one too). I agree Galadriel might have made it, but I don’t think that there is really much importance in the staff, the power came from Gandalf not his props.
